In 1983 Cansaf started operating as a walking and canoeing safaris company (that's where our name comes from: Canoeing Safaris). In 1998 we made the move and started operating as a full DMC. Over the years, we have built up a company well-known for our creative proposals. Our focus is Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe in the Victoria Falls area. At Cansaf we have the knowledge and expertise to plan and operate your whole travel to Botswana - resulting in a carefree stay in our country. If you need creative suggestions for your next event, we are the right partner for you.

Botswana is simply paradise for safari and nature lovers. A large part of the country is formed by the Kalahari desert, resulting in beautiful dry desert scenery.

The world-famous Okavanga delta which attracts all wildlife, can be seen by both boat, canoe or safari vehicle. To peddle with your canoe and see elephants on the river banks, crocodiles sunning themselves and hippos breathing bubbles of water is such a wonderful way to be part of what makes Botswana unique.

Our country has beautiful lodges, great bomas, fantastic game viewing and Cansaf to make the most of what it has to offer - a unique experience.
